Leadership

The Leadership Challenge

Too often people confuse a strong-willed personality as an effective leader, leadership is not being strong-willed, rather having a strong sense of purpose that is centered upon God. The church of our Lord needs leaders, not petty instigators. There are too many churches that substitute a petty person for a godly person and see no distinction, because the people who put them in power do not know the difference.

Characteristics of an effective pastor and church leader:

 

Vision

A vision will have your primary call from Scripture, to hear and obey His Word!

Knowledge

Knowledge is being assured that what Christ did is relevant and impacting, and is a reality that must be accepted and committed to.

Love their Call

Love their Call is Passion, it means there is nothing better you would rather do than...

Energizer

Energizer is the importance of influence, and being attractive with Christ who gets excited and is joyful for Him!

Learning

Maturity
